Simple as that, is the reception problem fixed yet-and don't tell me to put a *bleep*ing case on it, that is not how the phone was intended to work. I want one but not until they fix their screw up. I have not been able to find a straight answer, like people are trying to defend the company's major design flaw.

There is nothing to fix because the Antennagate problem was exaggerated. Some phones had the problems and others didn't. I owned another iPhone 4 before the one that I have now, and no matter how much I touched the iPhone 4's antenna, it would not lose reception whatsoever. I ran speed tests touching the little band, and nothing. No speed drop at all.

However, I had to return the phone back because I found a way to get unlimited data and so I ended up getting a new one. This one however, does have the antenna gate problem, but it's not as drastic as the media made it out to be. I drop one bar, two at the most when I touch the band, and that's it. Obviously, if you have bad reception to begin with, you're gonna lose a shitload of bars.

With that in mind, if you do get a defective unit, there's two things. One, put a case on it because you're going to protect the phone anyways. Or two, go to your local Apple Store and exchange the phone for a new one.
